AFC allows passengers to pay for their journey, either with a balance on their card, or with an appropriate travel product. In both cases, the passenger validates their card on an entry/exit reader or platform validator, located strategically in a station.

Fare calculation of a journey may depend on the distance travelled by the passenger. By using GPS technology and / or integration with an existing positioning system, the exact location of the passenger can be determined and used for the billing purposes.

The solution we offer not only has Automated Fare Collection based on positioning, but also sophisticated online monitoring functionality. The online monitoring makes it possible to remotely monitor AFC and, if required, take corrective action on demand. This significantly improves the availability and manageability of the system.

Our AFC system is developed by applying open architecture principles. The advantage of this is that the functions are defined as building blocks and unrelated information is kept independent. As a result, these functions are not dependent on each other and allows them to operate autonomously. The architecture also supports Front-End devices from multiple vendors, making the solutions hardware independent. The customer not only receives a high performance future-proof solution at competitive prices, but also complete freedom in the future development of the infrastructure.
